Biography
editKika Karadi was born in 1975 in Budapest, Hungary[2] and moved to the United States at age 11.[3] She attended Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) and graduated with a B.F.A. in 1997.[3]
Karadi had her first European solo show in Naples, Italy, in 2006.[4] In 2017, she was an artist in residence at the Chinati Foundation in Marfa, Texas.[5] She has held solo exhibitions at the Jonathan Viner Gallery in London and The Journal Gallery in New York City.[5][6]
Technique
editKaradi is noted for her large-scale paintings made in response to the aesthetics of the film noir genre. Her paintings were described as "black stenciled signage on a white background", in which she "reintroduces hints of representation - atmospheric cinematic scenes, figurative forms and symbols which welcome the impurities of cultural collision."[7] She approaches painting with a monographic technique. Her body of work using this process refers to the abandoned Oak Park Mall in Austin, Minnesota where she maintained her studio since early 2014.[8]
Personal life
editIn 2017, Karadi married the American musician John Maus.[9][10]
